Landscape Arch Trail

Landscape Arch Trail is a 1.9 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Moab, Utah that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round.

Beautiful, relatively flat trail. This would be an absolute breeze in warmer weather, but if you plan on visiting in the next few weeks or anytime there is snow on the ground, there is a good chance you will be walking on some very icy patches. Nothing too treacherous as there are no dropoffs on this trail, but you could land on your butt if not careful. I would recommend actual hiking boots and even poles if you need some extra help.

Multiple arches on the way to seeing the landscape arch. Good views, but the trail was extremely icy when we went on January 6th. We had some fun sliding down hills, but it was very easy to slip and fall.

This is a decent hike and yes you should do (at least) this much. I say that because you can “just” go to Landscape Arch or use this same trail to go see some other Arches that are even further out (I mean like 7 miles out). Pictures of this Arch are tough because of where the trail ends, in the middle of the day, you’ll be staring at the sun and when you are closest to it, pictures will pretty much just be a silhouette. I posted some pictures. Check them out. Tunnel Arch and Pine Tree Arch are short jaunts off of this hike as well and should be done at the same time.

Super easy out and back with the kids (8 year olds). We did it in the heat of the day 105 degrees and the kids survived with very little whining. There is a water fill station at the trailhead. There are multiple other arches off the landscape trail which makes it an easy way to see multiple arches in a relatively short period of time.

This trail is closed for about one month. They are doing road work. Usually you could start at the sand dunes arch trail as an alternative but the rangers stop you at Devils Garden campground and trail head.

Landscape arch is a natural wonder. The trail to it out of necessity is gravel do to the heavy traffic. It leads to and is the beginning of the Devils garden loop trail. Don't stop at the landscape arch because you will miss the best the park has to offer.
